Since 2020, Hulu has become the destination for live events, including an impressive music offering that brings some of the country’s most iconic festivals into the homes of all subscribers.  From June through October, Hulu will serve as the Official Streaming Destination for at least one festival a month, with livestreams of Bonnaroo in June, the ESSENCE Festival of Culture™ in July, Lollapalooza in August, iHeartRadio Music Festival in September, and Austin City Limits Musical Festival and iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina in October.

This year Disney returns to the ESSENCE Festival of Culture as a major entertainment sponsor to celebrate Black culture and community across its brands, content, talent, and experiences through performances, panels and more.
